[QUOTE="JKL, post: 763737, member: 30759"] We are trying to forget our 49-year-old son who is emotionally abusing us. I wish I had read this years ago, like when you posted this. Now, with COVID isolation taking friendships away, we are alone. Age 87 and 83. Both of us had heart surgeries this month. We miss the wonderful, sensitive, kind, and caring son who changed overnight after being a victim of gun violence in his dorm at a rich kid's university. Before Columbine, he received no help. Started drinking. Had a promising career. Fast fwd to 2015 when a SWAT team firefight erupted around his home and the police did not evacuate him (he was 20 feet from the gunman who shot a responding officer to a domestic violence call). All other neighbor's were hospitalized for trauma. Our son didn't get help, now has severe PTSD. He lies, cheats, and steals. In a third-world country, living in squalor when at one time he was top in his field of science. We can do all that is suggested, but being alone without the friends we used to have, life is hopeless. [/QUOTE]
